Hi team. I need some help.

I have an '81 XS650 SH and am in the process of upgrading the front brake. Here's what I have.

* alloy (mag) wheel.
* MikesXS floating disc rotor.
* Brembo 65mm hole pattern 4 piston brake calliper.
* Pandemonium cycles Brembo brake adapter kit.

More info.
* the left hand lower fork has been detabbed so unable to mount a Calliper on the left side.
* Pandemonium cycles have said that their kit does work on the right-hand side in most circumstances.

From my rough line up tonight, it's looking like I will need a spacer of about 10-15mm (approx .40") to offset the rotor enough to match up with the calliper. I've added some pics. Sorry, was taken at night so hard to see whats' going on.

Question is, has anyone done this upgrade with alloy wheels and what spacer did they use to get the result with the brake on the right-hand side?
